I LOVE V8 Supercars, and I LOVE the Foxtel coverage, so looking forward to the 3 day coverage this w/e.
Very much looking forward to Newcastle, which looks to be a REAL street circuit with the cars literally going through parts of the town.
Who's gonna be champ?....wouldn't have a clue, but if I was aked for a prediction, I'd say,..... Whincup.

This event is looking HUGE.
GREAT location, big crowds, circuit looks super challenging, but I think I may agree with "The Giz" that there are very few passing spots, so quali will be important.
Anyway, "Quali" for this afternoon's race is just an hour away,....I'll be watching.

What an awesome day. My home town produced what I think is a cracker of a track and has put on the best show. You don't know how fast these cars are until you see them around the streets you live on. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys have big cohunas and Simona must have borrowed some.
What a day .... and the noise!!!

Wish I could get down there, yes the Monaco of Aust Super Cars. Only bit that I noticed was how many places it looks like a car could get airborne over the fence and into the crowd or am I seeing it from the wrong angles on free to air TV being a tight a.?
I hope the 2017 cup goes to the best driver tomorrow.

I suppose there is a chance for an accident at any track, but it would be very
unlikely for a car to mount a fence in Newcastle.
Must just have been the angle of the camera making it look bad.
The whole "race" precinct was/is spectacular & spectator safe...
The TV view from above really showcased Newcastle as the great place we locals know it is
